1. The dissociation energy of the hydrogen molecular ion H2' is 250 kJ/mol while the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom is 13.6 ev. Let's compare the two processes. (a) Write a chemical equation describing the dissociation of H;' into the "proper" two (not three) parts. (b) Write a chemical equation describing the ionization of H. (c) Express the dissociation energy of H;' in electron-volts to compare with the ionization energy of H. (d) Explain why ionization is more difficult than dissociation by exploring the interaction of charge (like charges repel and opposite charges attract). Remember than energy is needed to overcome attraction.

(a) The ionization energy of potassium (K) is 4.34 eV and the electron affinity of chlorine (Cl) is -3.61 eV. The Madelung constant for the KCl structure is 1.748 and the distance between ions of opposite sign is 0.314 nm. On the basis of these data only, compute the cohesive energy of KCl per ion pair. (b) The observed cohesive energy of KCl is 6.42 eV per ion pair. On theassumption that the difference between this figure and that obtained in (a) is due to the exclusion principle repulsion, find the exponent n in the formula Br^-n for the potential energy arising from this source.

Schrodinger and de Broglie suggested a ‘Wave—particle duality" for small particles—that is, if electromagnetic radiation showed some particle-like properties, then perhaps small punicles might exhibit same wave-like properties. Explain. How does the wave mechanical picture of the atom fundamentally differ from the Bohr model? How do wave mechanical arbitals differ from Bohr’s orbits? What does it mean to say that an orbital represents a probability map for an electron?
At large interatomic separations, an alkali halide molecule MX has a lower energy as two neutral atoms, M+X ; at short separations, the ionic form (M+)(X) has a lower energy. At a certain distance, Rc , the energies of the two forms become equal, and it is near this distance that the electron will jump from the metal to the halogen atom during a collision. Because the forces between neutral atoms are weak at large distances, a reasonably good approximation can be made by ignoring any variation in potential V(R) for the neutral atoms between Rc and R= . For the ions in this distance range, Rc is dominated by their Coulomb attraction. (a) Express Rc for the first ionization energy of the metal M and the electron affinity of the halogen X. (b) Calculate Rc for LiF, KBr, and NaCl using data fromAppendix F.
